<a name="GtkCombo.description"></a><h2>Description</h2>
<p>
The <a class="link" href="GtkCombo.html" title="GtkCombo"><span class="type">GtkCombo</span></a> widget consists of a single-line text entry field and a drop-down
list. The drop-down list is displayed when the user clicks on a small arrow
button to the right of the entry field.
</p>
<p>
The drop-down list is a <a class="link" href="GtkList.html" title="GtkList"><span class="type">GtkList</span></a> widget and can be accessed using the
<em class="structfield"><code>list</code></em> member of the <a class="link" href="GtkCombo.html#GtkCombo-struct" title="struct GtkCombo"><span class="type">GtkCombo</span></a>.
List elements can contain arbitrary widgets, but if an element is not a
plain label, then you must use the <code class="function">gtk_list_set_item_string()</code> function.
This sets the string which will be placed in the text entry field when the
item is selected.
</p>
<p>
By default, the user can step through the items in the list using the
arrow (cursor) keys, though this behaviour can be turned off with
<a class="link" href="GtkCombo.html#gtk-combo-set-use-arrows" title="gtk_combo_set_use_arrows ()"><code class="function">gtk_combo_set_use_arrows()</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
As of GTK+ 2.4, <a class="link" href="GtkCombo.html" title="GtkCombo"><span class="type">GtkCombo</span></a> has been deprecated in favor of <a class="link" href="GtkComboBoxEntry.html" title="GtkComboBoxEntry"><span class="type">GtkComboBoxEntry</span></a>.
